Need help making a triggered spell

[patrick-the-bomb]

Unlike most of you guys, I don't like just putting in the cheat codes for maps. I like to go in, and rig a character or something. lol

I'm trying to copy that move juxtapose from dota, and put it into a version of Enfo's.

Except I'm trying to make it so that 35% of the time, when my hero is attacked, an image of it will spawn for 20 seconds.

Idk how this would work. I got most of it (i think) down. I just don't know how to set it to 35% of the time, and how to make the images.

I looked around, and figured out to have a dummy unit cast the spell. SO i made a little peasent have this item i made to do it, but that wont work either, and idk why.

set x = random number from 1 to 100

if x = 1-35, spawn one mirror for x at x

Ok, so idk if I got this across too well on tha last post, but I'm kinda new at the whole WE thing.
If I went in, would I find that pretty easily?

Probably not,

Here's a more thorough walk-through:

Firstly, open trigger editor. Then go to variables, (yellow X on top), and create an integer, (default 0).

Now create a trigger, (your events & conditions), and then search for Set, and select Set Variable, and pick the variable aforementioned.

What you set it to: Math - Random Number, (between whatever and whatever).

Next, search for If; select If/Then/Else - Multiple Functions.

Create a condition; Integer Comparison, choose your variable, and then click on the number, (default 0, I think), and pick Math - Random Number, and x through y, (example, 3 through 7). Then have your functions in Then, and if it doesn't equal that, well, just do this entire thing over again, and just pick a different x through y.

I think this is a little confusing for a beginner,

Thx bro.

Xantan said some like when x = w/e spawn one mirror of x at x. where do i get this spawn one mirror of x at x?

i think i could figure it out, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

unit --> create unit --> with expiration timer, or create copy of unit... ummm how do they do mirror image? Just use those images...
